Botafogo didn't start the new season according to the expectations. At the moment they sit on the 13th place with just four points. I believe the fans are not satisfied and coach Ricardo Gomes is under small pressure, as well as the players. Last weekend Botafogo suffered a narrow defeat in the derby against local rivals Fluminense. It was a tight match that was decided at the beginning of the second half after Fred scored the only goal. It is obvious where the problem is - Botafogo have failed to kept clean sheet in the first four rounds. The situation is now even more complicated as central defender Joel Carli got injury and won't play on this match. That's not all, five more players are also struggling with injury - Airton, Diogo Barbosa, Jefferson, Luis Henrique and Rodrigo Lindoso. To be worse, the new signings are still unavailable due to administrative issues.
Cruzeiro started the new season in awful way. They are yet to win a match and coach Paulo Bento came under big pressure. He asked for some new players to strengthen the squad and the club officials will probably bring acquisitions. But until that happened, Cruzeiro must play with the existing players. What is even worse, the away form is poor - two defeats on the two matches played on road. Cruzeiro conceded five goals and managed to score just one. Here are the results:
26.05.2016. Santa Cruz v Cruzeiro 4:1
15.05.2016. Coritiba v Cruzeiro 1:0
Paulo Bento has some additional issues as seven players are out injured - Allano, Dede, Judivan, Manoel, Marcos Vinicius, Mayke and Rafael Silva.
Botafogo have one win and one draw on the last two mutual games with Cruzeiro played at home. Here are the results:
02.08.2014. Botafogo v Cruzeiro 1:1
01.06.2013. Botafogo v Cruzeiro 2:1
Botafogo vs Cruzeiro Prediction:
I expect Botafogo to win this match. They didn't start the new season too good, however Botafogo showed some improvement on the last home match against Atletico Paranaense when they won. Cruzeiro, meanwhile, have lost both away matches and I expect to continue struggling on road. However, I will suggest a safer option - Botafogo in Draw No Bet. That means Your stake is back if the match finish with a draw.
